Bury and Whitefield Jewish Primary School
Bury, BL9 8JT · Bury · primary school
44th of 55 primary schools in Bury we can score, 64 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.5/10 against 3,329 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.43 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.5 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Debate Club, multi-sports, arts and crafts, and creative writing. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 103 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 107 spare places. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in literacy? What specific activities take place during the multi-sports sessions? How does the small class size affect individual attention during lessons?
